For those of you who keep saying he has no plan or platform.

It took him a year to figure out Trudeau was no longer in power and then another year to figure out we have a trade problem with the US tariffs.  It was great to see him have this epiphany and champion free trade with the US, albeit a year late.  Enjoy him, because he'll be gone soon.

You did.

But it was obvious you don't read anything.  Or think about it before posting an insulting reply.

That's why you're stoopid.

You barf out CBC word salad without considering anything and then poop your pants when people raise counterpoints.

I comment on a lot of posts.  Yours are generally pulled out of your âss to suit your mindless theories so I usually look, laugh and depending on the mood, may or may not comment.

He championed it in his campaign for PM.

Boomers didn't hear about it because you only listen to CBC.

You should do more thinking and less commenting.

You're an id10t.

How many more years are you going to let Liberals destroy Canada?  Can you answer that?

You've supported them through 11 years of disaster now - how much longer?  How many more chances?

 

How many more years.... At least until November 2029.

And again, I did not support them for the past 11 years.  How many more chances... this one for sure.

How about you...  obviously been a down decade for you with at least another 4 years to go. 15 years of getting worked up and bîtching all day isn't good for your health though.  Maybe join a gym and burn off that pent up anger so your mind can function better than it is.  Just a thought...

You're here every day insisting that everything in Canada is better since the Libs have been in power.  The economy, housing, healthcare, immigration, jobs.......better than ever! and getting more & more fabulous! every day.

You are nothing but an id10t.  A CBC headline parrot.  A brainwashed Liberal zombie who cannot think for yourself and aren't smart enough to look outside the window to see if the sky is blue like everyone says, or if it's green like the Liberals tell you.

Isn't it time to change your diaper yet?  Maybe watch CBC so you know when.

Canada's Global Standing: Prosperous, Progressive, and Peaceful

Canada's global standing is characterized by its prosperous, progressive, and peaceful status. The country is recognized for its high standard of living, strong economy, and political stability. Canada ranks high in social, legal, healthcare, and education systems, with universities among the best in the world. Despite these accolades, Canada faces challenges such as housing affordability, technology affordability, healthcare accessibility, and foreign direct investment. However, these concerns are overshadowed by Canada's overall positive performance across various indices, including human rights, quality of life, safety, happiness, prosperity, and sustainability.

"At least?"

So.....even longer if they haven't performed by 2029?

Wow.

You really are stoopid.

Canada won't even last until 2029.  And you're going to give them even longer?   

Jesus Christ on a cracker. 🙄

Alberta definitely needs to get out of this insane asylum.

Lol... you are seriously a freakin nut job...  Find one post of mine where I've insisted, or even said that 'everything in Canada is much better since the liberals have been in power'.  Just one if you can.

It's all you got in your simple little head...  CBC is the destruction of all minds.  This going coming from a fool who gets her news from equally inept fools on X and Facebook.  You're a joke...

You people make me cry.

It's just astonishing that you all think Canada is the best it's ever been and that it's thanks to the Liberal party.  😢

Unreal.

Not sure, we'll see then...  But I'm betting you're going to keep bîtching and crying for another 4 years aren't you 😂

Alberta isn't going anywhere, but why don't you look into when the separation nonsense gets put in the rearview mirror?  Maybe move to the States and find something to bîtch about all day long down there...

What a life you appear to lead... 😂

If someone asks "How long will this go on?"  And the reply is "AT LEAST until next week", you know that means for longer than a week, right?

Of course to spend all your time crying and complaining. It's what cons do. It's all about Grievance, entitlement and victimhood. Shrug. That is a choice.

All parties have good and bad policies. Life is just that. In Life you take the good with the bad, making yourself sick over politics is another thing entirely. None of this will matter when your dead. Relax. life is too short to focus one only the things you disagree with or that bug you. Jus sayin...

Just sit back and let the Liberals do whatever they want.

That's your advice.

Look at this bunch of liars - Canadian Federation of Businesses.

Why would they LIE like this?

There is no "tax pressure" in Canada.  There are no "complex rules and red tape". 

73% of small business have no confidence in the federal government?  🙄

More like 73% of small business owners are ****** liars, right?

More businesses are closing than opening in Canada, report finds - National | Globalnews.ca

“Canada’s economic foundation is crumbling. Governments need to stop just papering over the cracks and really refocus efforts on policies that improve the small business environment,” said Brianna Solberg, CFIB’s director for the Prairies and the North.

 

Two‑thirds of small firms surveyed by CFIB said they feel unsupported by their provincial governments, with only three per cent saying they strongly believed their government had a clear vision for entrepreneurship. And 73 per cent are not confident in the federal government.

More than half (55 per cent) of Canadian small and medium enterprises say they would not recommend starting a business at this time, CFIB said.

Businesses cited “high costs, tax and payroll pressures, complex rules, red tape, and ongoing labour challenges against a backdrop of persistent global uncertainty” as the biggest challenges facing them.

Red tape disproportionately affects smaller businesses, Lander said.

You're right, I won't argue this...

Well that's sort of true, there's nothing to win. The facts are right there.  A couple could buy a home with an average income and live in it in 2015 well within what the banks consider 'affordable'.   That's a simple fact. 

Amazingly, however, you somehow managed to lose  

 

   A grade 7 dropout walking me through calculations gives me little incentive to argue with an id1ot.

The fact is that housing was also unaffordable in Metro Vancouver when your hero was PM in 2015.

Go find another subject to show your lack of understanding 🤡

 

Quote

Greater Vancouver home prices surged in 2015, with the MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark reaching $760,900 by year-end, 

 

We already went over why that's a lie when it comes to affordability. 

 

The price of a nice starter home suitable for a family of 4 in vancouver at that time was just over 300 thosuand 

And i posted the average wage. I posted the proof.

 

LOL - what impresses me about you is that despite your stupid being pointed out to you you are never afraid to double down on the stupid  

in 2015 and even 2016 you could buy a nice home in most parts of the GVRD for less than 33 percent of the average household income and it would be big enough to raise a family.   Simple fact. 

 

LOLOL you're freaking hilarious   This is what happens when you run your life on confirmation bias

The debate between Poilievre and Carney in the HoC yesterday is hitting the media, even CBC.  Poilievre challenged Carney's economics education and LiberalWorld is losing their minds - "How DARE he?????!!!!!????"

Pierre Poilievre says Canadians are being crushed by taxes, debt, housing costs, and grocery prices.

Mark Carney says wages are rising faster than inflation, rents are easing, and Canada is positioned for strong growth.

Both sides came loaded with numbers.

Both say they’re fighting for Canadians.

Who’s telling the real story of Canada right now and who’s selling a narrative? 

I remembered an interview I saw with Poilievre at least a couple years ago now, I can't remember the economist guy he was talking to, so I can't find it.  But I remember him talking about government using the CPI index to get its numbers and why the CPI is inaccurate.  I didn't understand what they were talking about at the time.

So I did some digging on the CPI index today.

You can do it too, but I found this substack that explains it quite well.  Carney's getting his numbers from the CPI index.

(3) Your Raise Was a Lie - Cassius' Substack

My question is:  Why doesn't the expert economist know this, but the paperboy does?

Every year, the government tells you how much richer you’re getting. Your pension goes up. Your tax brackets shift. Your wages get benchmarked. All of it rests on a single number: the Consumer Price Index. That number is wrong. Not by a little. By enough to halve your income gains over the past two decades.

 

This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s arithmetic. Statistics Canada’s CPI has three well-documented blind spots—in shelter costs, spending-pattern differences across income levels, and healthcare quality. Each one causes the official measure to undercount the actual cost of living. Stack all three, and the official CPI (which reached 155 by 2023 on a 2002 base) should have been closer to 201–216.

That 46–60 point gap between 155 and 201–216 is not abstract. It’s money. It’s 21 years of pensions that were too low, tax brackets that crept too high, and poverty lines that were drawn in the wrong place. It’s the gap between the economy you were told you lived in and the one you actually experienced.

What This Means For You

 

This is not just a statistical curiosity. The CPI is wired into the machinery of Canadian life. When it’s wrong, everything downstream is wrong too.

• Your pension is too low. OAS, GIS, and CPP are indexed to official CPI. Twenty-one years of under-indexation means these benefits have quietly eroded by 22–25% relative to actual inflation. For a senior on GIS, that’s thousands of dollars per year in lost purchasing power.

• You’re in a higher tax bracket than you should be. Federal and provincial bracket thresholds are indexed to CPI. Understated inflation means the thresholds didn’t rise enough, silently pushing more of your income into higher marginal rates. You’re paying more tax on less real income.

• You’re waiting longer and paying more for healthcare. Wait times nearly doubled. Spending per capita more than doubled. The CPI says healthcare got 0% more expensive. That’s not a rounding error—it’s a failure of measurement.

• The housing crisis is larger than the data shows. Official shelter inflation is smoothed by two decades of legacy mortgages. For anyone who bought a home after 2015—or is trying to—the real cost increase is far larger than Statistics Canada reports.

• The “productivity puzzle” is a measurement artifact. Economists ask why Canadians don’t feel richer despite GDP growth. They’re asking the wrong question. Canadians don’t feel richer because they’re far less rich than the numbers say. The deflator was wrong.

What background and specific qualifications does Poilievre have that would suggest he's capable of leading a country? As we're seeing, he can't even lead his political party...

You're correct, hope has never been a good strategy, but neither is keeping your head buried in your áss.

he spent 10 years as part of the governing body and 10 years as part of the opposition overseeing the government body

That's a hell of a lot of experience.

As to not being able to lead his party when he took over conservatives were at about 32% and had been for a while. He raised them up to about 42% in the polls and finished at about 41.5. Stronger than any conservative leader going back to Mulroney and stronger than almost any other liberal leader managed to pull off in that same time frame

If it wasn't for trump in the NDP he'd have won that election and if Trudeau hadn't left he would have won that election.

So we have to ask what makes you think he can't lead his party?
